Can't we get OS4 to one of these? This is the price point Hyperion should be aiming for.

I thought the price for the beta board was £1,150.  The case is another £150 or so, adding drives memory etc would push it above £1,500 by some, but not a lot.  Still looks rather pricey compared to USD 174 for a motherboard though...

AmigaOS appears to be aiming for the classes not the masses, but realistically that may be the only way to survive financially.

I would love a tiny aOS 4 system, slap it on the back of a monitor, install it in your car, it's almost a stealth computer.  Sort of an AmigaAnywhere without the Taos.  But it doesn't fit the grand design of a microprocessor in a big box costing lots of money, so it won't fly.
